I see your point, but I still say the same: Trish was only important to Dante: she seems to be a mix of a mother and a love interest.Without Dante, nobody would give a d*mn about her.Lady too had her higher point in DMC3 , after that ( anime and DMC4) she was basically "an empty container", a meaniless presence and a third wheel, just to show how good the other two were.I guess DMC has a VERY alternative meaning to "friends", but whatever...

It seems to me DmC was just an one shot game, a compilation of all the other 4 games, if you will.While I don't like the reboot, I understand their reasons.

That game was basically an alternative story: what if Dante has a past only disturbed by demons, what if his sidekick and love interest was a real human, with a weak body, but a strong spirit  who loves him back,instead of a demoniac version of his mother; what if he likes human women and if he was a REAL casanova who really scores between human female type, instead a casanova wannabe who only attracts demons and disgusts humans girls.What if he meets the True Eva and not a copy of her.Just that.

Remember before they even tried the reboot, "fans" already trashed Dante, calling him old, boring and saying how great Bayonetta was. Kamiya joined then saying how Bayonetta was stronger than Dante and how she would wip the floor with him.It doesn't help Kamiya stills makes throwing backs to DMC story, trying to change DMC canon with absurd things, when he only made DMC1.Old Dante was completely humiliated by his "father". So a new canon was tried in order to get rid of Kamiya's throws back and other absurd things.It was just an experiment.
